Cypress Hills Ascend Charter School consistently outperforms the state and local district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 68.33% compared to the state average of 54.15%, and its 7th-grade Math proficiency rate was 77.59% compared to the state average of 56.47%. The school has particularly strong performance among specific student subgroups, ranking in the top 88 out of 928 New York elementary schools for African American students and in the top 159 out of 1,117 schools for English Language Learners, both with 4 or 5 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars.

Cypress Hills Ascend Charter School significantly outperforms the nearby traditional public schools, such as PS 64 Joseph P Addabbo, PS 7 Abraham Lincoln, and PS 345 Patrolman Robert Bolden, which all have lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math across the grade levels. Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's academic performance is substantially higher than the state and local district averages, suggesting the school is effectively serving its underprivileged student population.
